I am growing several varieties of gooseberries and currants. This year, as every other year, the currant worms are a serious pest. So far, the best solution I have is to spray the plants with soapy
water at the first sign of damage. This dries out their skin and kills many of them. A couple repeated applications are usually needed. I am wondering if anyone has had success with any other better ideas. I have tried spreading
wood ashes, but that didn't work for me at all. I was thinking of surrounding the plants with anise hyssop plants to keep the adult sawflies confused?
Are there varieties that they don't attack?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
